1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
When confusion disappeared, we found freedom, time, and energy to do more of what we love. We started hiking more and added weekend and weeklong camping trips. In doing so, we realized more and more benefits of being outdoors.
The physical health benefits from being outside may be pretty obvious at first, but there are more than I realized. Studies have shown that besides the vitamin D intake, being outside can even reduce recovery and healing time. Activity outdoors can also have a higher fitness benefit than exercise done indoors.
A walk in the woods or even just a quick trip to a park can help reduce anxiety, improve short-term memory and reduce mental tiredness. Any time I need a boost (鼓舞) in my mood, spending even five minutes in the sunshine will help. Imagine the benefits we receive from spending an entire day or even more outdoors.
As I've made it my preference to be outdoors, I find myself inspired and excited about life. Many people claim that their best ideas come to them in the shower. I have had the same happen when in nature. My creativity, confidence, and focus all increase after a hike or a weekend spent camping.
In between my generation and the generation of my children, there has been an extreme decrease in the amount of time kids are spending more time indoors than ever before and shares shocking statistics of how little time kids get out VS hours of screen time each day. This has given rise to many negative consequences such as poorer physical and mental health.
However, as mentioned previously, all the benefits we as adults can receive from time spent outdoors, it is even better for our kids. It is clear that time in nature is good for both adults and children.
(1)、According to the passage, we can know that ____.A、it is necessary to take in more vitamin D B、being outside helps us get well sooner C、indoor exercise is kind of harmful to health D、keeping fit is very important for children(2)、How does the author give advice to readers?A、By making comparisons. B、By presenting his personal experience. C、By giving warnings. D、By following the order of importance.(3)、When does the author have his best ideas?A、When he is having a shower. B、When he is with the kids. C、When he is in nature. D、When he comes back from work.(4)、What can we infer from the passage?A、The author is an expert in physical health. B、The author is strict with his children. C、Many children still prefer to stay indoors. D、Most parents ignore the value of being outdoors. -

13、 第二节 读后续写,阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We were very poor. To help support the family, Grandma would go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and then sell them. In this way, Grandma had to spend the whole day in the mountains. After she came back from collecting a lot of wild vegetables, she had to pick them until late night. Early in the morning, my grandma would take the vegetables, walk through the mountain road, and go to the market to sell them.
I hated Grandma digging wild vegetables all day long, because as soon as I finished my homework, I had to help her pick vegetables. And this dirty work often made my fingers black. In that case, no matter how hard I washed my hands, the dirty black color couldn't be washed away, which made me very upset. My grandma noticed I hated the black color so much; she once suggested using bleach and iron filings(漂白剂和铁屑). It worked. However, it really hurt so I refused to try them again.
One day, something unexpected happened.
"Everyone, you need to invite your parents to school. OK?" the teacher said to us," the school requires students to bring your parents to school, mainly to discuss your school work."
Of course it didn't matter to other classmates, but I…… Grandma was the only one who could come to school with me, Hearing what the teacher said, I sighed helplessly," Oh……" The worn-out clothes, the slightly hunched(弓背的) back, and the most terrible thing was the dirty black color on Grandma's fingers!
I couldn't tell how worried and frightened I was and I didn't know what to do. Anyway, I didn't want the teacher to see the color of my grandma's fingers. I came home with an unhappy face and said hesitantly:" Well, Grandma, the teacher asked parents to go to school tomorrow."

A small device, Moxie, has produced oxygen on the surface of Mare, (bring) the chances of surviving on the red planet a stop closer. Research published in journal Science Advances reported that Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven-hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmospheric conditions last year. The research also found that even in (extreme) harsh weather conditions like a Martian dust storm, Moxie (continue) to produce high purity oxygen.
"This is the first demonstration of actually using (resource) on the surface of Mars and transforming them chemically into something useful for a human mission," Jeffrey Hoffman, a retired astronaut, said.
"The thin atmosphere on Mar s is 96 percent carbon dioxide and much more (change)than on Earth and the temperature can vary by 100 degrees , " Hoffman said. " One aim is (show) we can run Moxie in all seasons."
The device, Moxie, uses some special pumps, take in carbon dioxide. The gas (heat) to 800℃ and pressed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide is sent out as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Despite the challenges, Moxie has proved durable in the extreme conditions on Mars and scientists regard the test results a great achievement.

16、 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When I was a teenager, my dad wasn't terribly interested in the music I liked. To him, it just sounded like"1 ", while he referred to the music he listened to as"2 ." As I've grown older, I'll often hear people of my age say things like " they just don't make3 music like they used to."
Luckily, my4 as a psychologist has given me some insights into this puzzle. We know that musical tastes begin to5 when we're teenagers. By the time we're in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have6 listening to new music. Meanwhile, those familiar songs released when you're in your early teens are likely to remain quite7 among your age group for the rest of your life. There could be a biological8 for this. There's evidence that the brain's ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms and melodies gets9 with age. So to older people, less10 songs might all" sound the same" .
But I believe there are some simpler11 for older people's dislike of newer music the " me re exposure effect." It means that the more we're12 to something, the more we tend to like it.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we13 as teens seem more intense than those that come later. We also know that intense emotions are14 with stronger memories and preferences. All of this might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there's15 wrong with your parents because they don't like your music. In a way, it's all part of the natural order of things.

17、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Science shows that stretching us essential after exercise. Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the connective tissue around your muscle. What's more, stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your stress.
You could feel sick. You won't be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. While it's great to get that blood flowing, it's just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. As your heart is beating faster and your body temperature is higher, you could pass out or feel sick if you stop* too fast. Stretching after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and sorer. When you exercise your muscles, it produces lactic acid(乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest between periods of exercise, your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid. Is there one thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body, which can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.
Flexibility is closely related to injury risk. Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury. Besides, your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. Sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A. You guessed it: Stretching.
B. You'll be at risk of injury.
C. You'll improve your flexibility by Stretching.
D. This is also known in the fitness world as" cooling down".
E. It does wonders for both your physical and mental health.
F. There are harmful side effects if you don't stretch after exercise.
G. That's why people often feel pain in their" weight bearing" joints like knees.

18、 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Both Roberto and Keith have a 45-minute commute(通勤) time from their homes to their workplace. When Roberto drives, he has realistic expectations of how others drive and how long the trip should take. Overall, he is able to adapt to any unexpected challenges he may: face on the road.
He rarely becomes angry. By contrast, Keith drives with a tendency for becoming angry easily, partly due to unrealistic expectations of other drivers, his quickness to personalize and feel threatened by the actions of others, and his inability to calm his anger.
The difference between how Roberto and Keith experience their drive to work, especially with regard to getting angry, is influenced very much by their emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is crucial for helping individuals choose constructive over destructive anger. A key aspect of healthy anger is being able to pause and reflect on, rather than react to our thoughts, feelings, and senses associated with getting angry.
Self-regulation and empathy(同理心) are two important components of emotional intelligence, which can be a buffer(缓冲) against destructive anger. Self-regulation helps us to control our moods. Empathy helps us to recognize the humanity. in others and ourselves.
Studies suggest that training in emotional intelligence can powerfully impact how anger is managed. This was supported by a three-year study of 476 young adults who showed reduced tendency of becoming angry after training. Children and adults can learn skills to boost their emotional intelligence and, by doing so, develop adaptability for dealing with various negative feelings, including anger. Many workbooks offer skills in emotional intelligence to promote empathy and self-awareness regarding emotions and how they impact our beliefs and behavior.
Clearly, through training, Keith would experience greater emotional flexibility that could support a more peaceful commute to work. I firmly believe that learning skills in emotional intelligence should be the focus in helping individuals more constructively manage this highly challenging and complex emotion.
(1)、What is the main feature of healthy anger?A、Thinking over the annoying situation. B、Taking action to deal with the awful situation. C、Turning a blind eye to the unwelcome situation. D、Expressing feelings about the disturbing situation.(2)、What is the author's attitude towards training in emotional intelligence?A、Supportive. B、Doubtful. C、Negative. D、Tolerant.(3)、What would happen to Keith if he received training in emotional intelligence?A、He would shorten his commute time. B、He would stop threatening other drivers. C、He would help others more deliberately. D、He would manage emotíons more constructively.(4)、What is the suitable title of the text?A、The Role of Empathy in Commuting Peacefully B、The Influence of Emotional Intelligence on Life C、The Need for Drivers to Enhance Their Intellectual Training D、Emotional Intelligence: A Protection Against Destructive Anger -
19、 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In scientific literature, baby talk is called" parentese" and is a unique way of communicating with babies. Classic baby talk will include speaking at a higher pitch, with exaggerated(夸张的)intonation, simplified vocabulary, and repetitive phrases. It has a melodic quality, coupled with exaggerated facial expressions. Adults also tend to speak more slowly and emphasize key words or phrases when engaging in baby talk. What's the point of using such a ridiculous style of talking with babies? Why not just talk to a baby with normal speech, like we'd talk to another adult?
Primarily, we use baby talk to capture the baby's attention. The exaggerated vocalizations and facial expressions serve to engage the child's focus by being distinct from all the other noise and visual stimuli around the baby. Remember, the brain of a newborn baby is still developing and needs different cues to engage and learn something.
Baby talk also helps to establish an emotional connection between the adult and the baby. The melodic and nurturing tone conveys affection, love, and care. As a result, in a way, it reassures the child by giving them a sense of security.
Interestingly, there was a study where researchers tested 2,329 babies from 16 countries on their preference for this high-pitched, animated vocalization……babies love it when adults engage in baby talk. The study also revealed that babies from almost all cultures have an inherent love for baby talk.
Newborns can't speak, but they come ready to learn. Evidence suggests that human brains are primed to absorb and process linguistic input. The melodic patterns and símplified language of baby talk help infants differentiate speech sounds and identify keywords, facilitating more efficient language development.
However, it's important to strike a balance between baby talk and normal adult conversation as babies grow older and their language skills develop. As children become more proficient in understanding and producing language, adults should adapt and advance their cothmunication style accordingly.
(1)、Which of the following is the characteristic of baby talk?A、Vivid expressions. B、Rich information. C、Complex grammar. D、Large vocabulary.(2)、According to the passage, what's the function of baby talk?A、To entertain adults. B、To form emotional bond. C、To learn more about babies. D、To help babies understand the adult world.(3)、What does the last paragraph focus on?A、Describing a phenomenon. B、Offering advice. C、Analyzing causes. D、Interpreting facts.(4)、What is the passage mainly about?A、What is baby talk? B、Why can't adults talk like babies? C、How do babies talk with adults? D、Why can't adults talk normully to babies? -
20、 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Consider what goes through your mind after you've taken your sea t on an airplane. You've not seen the captain, but his or her voice comes over the air." Hello, this is your captain speaking." Are you about to fly the friendly skies? What you probably don't realize is that you do make quick judgments based on very few factors the moment you hear" hello".
Experts have discovered that" hello" carries enough information for listeners to draw judgments about the speaker's personality, such as how reliable he or she is. They recorded 64 students reading a telephone conversation. The word" hello" was then picked from each recording, and 320 different students listened to that word through a computer. The students were asked to score the voices according to personality, including attractiveness and warmth, giving them points from 1 to 10.Although every voice was played in one third a second, the students formed an opinion quickly.
It is amazing that from such short voice s of speech they can get such an obvious impression of a person. And whether it is correct, their impressions are mostly the same as what the other listeners get. The research also suggests that people's impressions are based on the tone of voice. Men and women who present the strength of their voices are regarded as more reliable.
The speed with which the students made their judgments makes much sense. Deciding who to trust can be important to your survival. There's no point in listening to someone talk for 5 minutes to decide if they're reliable or not ——you could be dead already. The discovery may help improve computer-made voice technologies, experts say.
(1)、Why does the author mention " the captain" in paragraph 1?A、To present a fact. B、To make a prediction. C、To introduce a new research. D、To explain the rule on a plane.(2)、How did the students tell the speakers' personality?A、Making telephone calls. B、Playing voices at high speeds. C、Picking" hello" from conversations. D、Listening to and scoring the records of "hello".(3)、What can we do to leave a good first impression?A、Make a long speech. B、Follow other listeners. C、Give powerful voice. D、Speak as fast as possible.(4)、What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?A、The secret to speaking for 5 minutes. B、The application in voice technologies. C、The different ways you say" hello". D、The method of listening with attention.
